life

I live alone. So, the other day I decided that it was about time I tried my cooking skills. Damnit, my cooking is horrible, I am gonna have to keep eating outside until I am “legally” married. So, I cooked. Then, I settled down to eat. I ate in like thirty minutes and then thought: “I am gonna relax for a few minutes and then wash the dishes…” I turned up the music and continued listening to whatever the Migos were shouting between the beats even though I understood very little of it. After listening to my music for what […]

Haters! Haters everywhere… What is wrong with these people. I am not blaming or abusing anyone! Hell no, why would I do that? I am a hater too. Damn, I hate trump, I hate that guy who passed by me yesterday with a range rover and splashed pool water all over my jeans, I hate my professor because he gave me a difficult test, I hate… I hate… I hate… to what end… I give up. So, this game of hate got me fed up. I decided to dig deeper and see what causes us to behave the way we […]

Seriously speaking, everybody is guilty of this one. Being true to yourself means that you act in accordance with who you are and what you believe in. If you already know yourself and love whoever you are, you will always find it effortless to love you. To be true to yourself, you must have the courage to accept yourself the way you are. This is usually hard for a lot of people. People usually tend to pick the easier route: Pretending to be someone else. The young people like me are the major culprits here. These people always want to […]

This is so uncool, I am about to expose myself to people I don’t even know right now I have been lying to myself. I have known it all along. You have been lying to yourself. You have known it all along. The only thing that we were lacking is the ability to call our crazy selves out and make arrangements on how to stop the bullshit that has been circling us like that crazy ass fly that forgets to go to sleep at night and keeps circling the electric bulb. Dumbass fly. But, do you even know the lies […]

I started writing this article but then stopped, turned off my computer, held up my chin and looked up to the roof thinking to myself this: “Dude, what the fuck are you tryna do right now. You ain’t even thirty and you are writing about people in their thirties.” That one line of thought started a tug of war in my brain. I have had this fight all day before I finally won and started to write this article. One thing to note, I may not be thirty but I sure as hell has a lot of friends in their […]

Who doesn’t need a dose of inspiration every now and then to do something worthwhile with their lives? I know that I do. So, I sat down and just decided to write this post that contains a lot of quotes from some of my most favorite people who have accomplished what normal people always thought that no one could ever accomplish. Who could have thought that a poor lady like JK Rowling could ever make it to the billionaires’ league? Who could ever think that Steve Jobs could create a business empire like apple? This post is a dedication to […]

I know you know what I am talking about here. Hold, on a minute. I think my adrenaline is a bit high. I almost fought with a conductor today after I gave him my one thousand shillings note and instead of giving back my change he claimed that he had already done so. Don’t worry, that case is already closed. You know this kind of a person. Maybe it is even you: This guy didn’t get married because his first girlfriend left him when he was 16. He is not successful in life because mommy and daddy couldn’t take him […]

I turned eighteen. My dad caught me peeing on our flower bed. He shouted at me and I jumped over our barbed wire fence and run away from home the whole day. I was eighteen. I was mature and no one was supposed to tell me what the fuck I was supposed to do. I got hooked up with a girl from our area and I even started planning on how to get married in my mind. I saw the kids walking besides me and my supposedly sweet heart. Fuck that! She dumped me. I left home and went to […]

I have been thinking. I have been drinking too. I don’t know if it is the drinking or it is that am just crazy. We can disregard the drinking part. All I can remember drinking today is water. Not unless Jesus decided to turn the water we drink here into wine like he did back in those days in Galilee, I think I am pretty darn sober. Maybe we will go with the part that I am crazy, but hey, don’t judge me yet until you hear my part of the story. Deal? Of course, deal! The kind of thinking […]

You know the feeling and it is fucked up. You just did your job interview at a company in the city and now you can’t sleep because you are worried that you might not get selected for the job. You Just did your major exam and now you think that you might have fucked up somewhere and that you might fail. I may never get married. I might die one day. Oh shit, the al-Shabaab might be regrouping again. And did you hear that the world bank is planning on removing its help from our country? Oh my God, next […]

If there is one thing which is popular in this world, it is the huge black box on the wall. Yes, that thing that makes you not to arrange your furniture before you figure out where it will be fixed on the wall. The thing I am talking about is non-other than the television. It is the one thing that millions of folks have come to believe that it is the source of all the truth about what is going on in the world. It is the thing that people are looking forward to get to know what favorite move […]

It is the 21st century and school is compulsory to each and every kid. Even primary education has already been made free for every kid. Plans to make high school free are also under way. Damn, the government is on its own mission of kicking illiteracy out of Kenya just like it did with polio years ago. Now the only thing remaining is for the government to start printing huge banners and placing them on electricity poles with huge letters saying KICK ILLITERACY OUT OF KENYA. I love education. What I have never had passion for is school. Yes, I […]

99.999% of the worlds population is in prison right now. Yes, including you. You who is reading this article from a phone you own and inside a house that you own. I know, right now you are probably wondering what the fuck I am talking about. I will tell you this, I didn’t say the following quote, but I think that whoever said it was far much smarter than me. Here is the quote: “If you care too much about what other people think, you will always be their prisoner.” – Lao Tzu Am I starting to make sense to […]

Look at the 21st century kids. Especially those who have just graduated from college. If there is anything that you can tell about them, it is the fact that they are all depressed. I did say it, generation Y yuppies are not happy. They are depressed. My parents were born during that period when there was no independence in my country. It’s around that time when there was the world war II, damn, America and Russia were involved in the cold war. With each making the biggest bomb that they could afford to make and then taking it to the […]

I have always thought I had an infinite amount of time to spend in this world. But wait a minute. I turned 20. Then like the world wanted to get a message across to me I turned 21. So, I thought to myself, If I was twenty and now I am twenty-one, does it mean that I can turn 22 then 23 then 24 then 25 then 30 and then everyone including my mum who always gave me advice and told me to avoid girls is asking to see my girlfriend, then forty then 70 and then 90 and then […]
